John Gill, on Neh 4:9
John Gill · 1697–1771
Neh 4:9 · Douay-Rheims
“And we prayed to our God, and set watchmen upon the wall day and night against them.”
On this verse:
“Nevertheless, we made our prayer unto our God,.... Spread their case before him in prayer, entreating direction and help from him: and set a watch against them day and night, because of them; to give notice of their approach, that they might prepare to defend themselves; though they prayed to God, and trusted in him for deliverance, they did not neglect the use of means.”
